Darkness.
That was the first thing I sensed.
It was exceptionally dark. Next came a debilitating sensation that ravaged my mind, tearing it apart and piecing it back together as I battled an immense sense of helplessness and the unknown.
Who was I?
I wasn't just some floating existence of consciousness.
Something was telling me I was someone, but each time I nearly grasped the answer to this question, it constantly slipped from me like an elusive wisp of smoke.
Again, again, and again.
Frustration mounted and with each layer, a horrible sensation seeped in, coursing through the darkness that had been my solitude.
And I wanted out.
I wanted it all gone this instant!
The mounting bundle of clustered sensations were disrupted by a violent wave.
That wave in turn formed an indescribable sound that blared loud and clear.
"Get up."
